  Hey there! Reporting your cryptocurrency gains and losses on form 8949 for the year 2019 is an important step to ensure compliance with tax regulations. To get started, you'll need to gather all the relevant information about your cryptocurrency transactions, such as the date, type of cryptocurrency, amount bought or sold, and the cost basis. Make sure to accurately report each transaction on form 8949, indicating whether it resulted in a gain or a loss. Remember, the IRS considers cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses are subject to capital gains tax. If you're unsure about how to fill out the form or have any specific questions, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional who can guide you through the process.
